Suggested that you ask this on the mod_python mailing list: http://mailman.modpython.org/mailman/listinfo/mod_python
Detail exactly what the problems you are having are. The person who packages the dev versions is on the mod_python list as are other developers of mod_python. I don't know that they always keep up to date on mail on the general Python mailing list. Graham -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
